Yaaaarrrd Work

The Atlanta area is perfect this time of year! I took today off of work and cleaned up the house and did some yard work. This is all in preparation to go to the fair and for my momma to come in this weekend.
While in the yard I found Krystal wrappers (this is the norm given the burger place is just down the street) and I found folding money too! While doing my yard work guys like to honk and yell and bark (?) at me. I know I live on a city street. I know this a busy street. But come on. Really, is it necessary to holler at a girl doing yard work?

Seen in Costco

Seen in the check out line in Costco:
The lines were long. I had 2 items. I waited. The crazy guy behind me and his wife wearing camouflage and kids were looking for the shortest line. They were in my line then moved to another line, then stopped to bitch about all the lines. A woman with a bag of coffee came behind us and puts her bag of coffee on the belt. Here comes camo family. He moves her bag back and begins to unload his very full cart. She asks what he is doing. He says he is taking his place back. She corrected him. They have a disagreement. I say that I saw her behind us when he left and agree she is next in line. They go back and forth and the check out girl took her as the next in line. He continues to complain. The fab hub tells the guy to calm down and reminds him that the lady has a bag of coffee. The guy is getting nastier by the second. This guy is too old to be a jerk in front of everyone at Costco over a lady just buying a bag of coffee. Isn't it courtesy to let someone with 1 item go in front of you when you have an over flowing cart?? Jackass....

Driving Miss Daisy

I met the fab hub and our best friend in the world for drinks and eats tonight. We went to Twist. Yummy. I had a cheese plate that was so good. Had some good people watching. Then there was the drive home....This should have been 15-20 minutes. It is 7pm and The City is still working on the sewer, the streets and any other thing to take Peachtree down to 1 lane. I am turning more evil every light change we sit through not moving. We are finally past the mess. I am cruising home. We see a man on a cell phone cross the double line to move into the HOV lane while he is the only person in the SUV with a government tag. I ran a guy off the road into a church parking lot blasting the horn so hard I had an Audi emblem embedded on my hand. I can't handle the idiots driving around. I am so thankful I am 6 miles from work. I would go nuts. After 15 minutes in the car I am done. I am the face of road rage.
We pulled up behind an SUV that had a tow hitch cover like no other. It was a UGA official tailgating cover with a built in beer opener. Classy!

Momma is Home!

I am so glad the new season of Oprah has started. I hate the reruns. I love my girl O. It makes me happy to leave work at 4pm to get home to her. I love Tivo and Oprah. So happy. Happy. Happy. Happy.

The Nerve

I mean REALLY!
When people go to a nice place for dinner they want certain things. For us it was a bottle of wine, great food and a kick ass server. We had it all. The guy comes by and pours the wine. Our cheese fondue appetizer comes out. We are dipping and enjoying the cheese. Then it happens:
Beep Beep
LEAVE YOUR EFFING NEXTEL AT HOME
This is not the Rib Ranch or the gas station. The guy 2 tables over continues on to beep beep back and forth about a worksite job. Nobody wants to hear beep beep. His big haired wife was no better. Loud talkers. I should not know about your job site. Beep Beep. I should have tossed it into the moat with the crocs. Beep Beep.
Then there are the parents that bring out The Kid. If you decide to go out and drop $100 on dinner on Monday night I suspect you can afford a baby sitter. But, no you bring your spawn with you. Do you notice the demon banging silverware on a plate? Oh no, you cannot be bothered with your own child. Then The Kid begins to scream in a way that only is to beckon Satan himself to come. Throw The Kid in with the crocs too.
We had a good dinner once I drowned my nerves in wine.

Celebrate!

Today is our two year anniversary! Yippy!
Last year we got a hot tub....it is so wonderful!
This year a new back yard and I got the fab hub a really cool bat house. I got some fancy flowers with a super sweet note. I also got a card with a Super Lucky Cat on it. I will not be complete with out my Super Lucky Cat......
Bliss....
But alas, it was still Monday. I come in to work and our paperless system is down. Can't get demands, releases...nothing. Oh, yeah, then the phones went down, then the email crapped out. Then I went to Target! I saw 3 people from the office there. Nothing good came from the day at work. Whatever.

We are headed to dine with the Crocs at Dante's Down the Hatch. Yummy!!

Caught Up

This past week has been the week from hell. Work was busy. Home was busy. Everything was just busy. And on top of that I could not sleep. I finally got caught up last night. Feels good.
On Monday the fab hub and I took down more privit in the yard than you would believe. So much that we scared the city pick up and they have left it. If it is not picked up by Wednesday I will make some calls. It covers the walk way on both sides of the fence.
I don't remember Tuesday other than work. It was bad. Really bad.....glad I don't remeber
Wednesday I left work on time and hit Costco. I still owed Bellini a birthday gift. I got her the best cat tree ever! She loves it and it looks cute. I should have some pictures on flickr by the end of the day. I could not sleep-maybe 4 hours if I was lucky.
Thursday was like Tuesday part II. I have blocked that from memory too. I did take a lunch break and went to Target to pick up some needed items. I was looking all through the hair care area for some baby shampoo for Bellini. Finally someone asks to help me, as I must have looked lost in this aisle. I asked, "Where can I find some monkey wash?" The girl looked at me as if I had grown antlers. I tried to explaine my cat seems to be more monkey than cat and I needed some baby shampoo to bathe my naked cat. I finally gave up trying to explaine and went to the baby section to find what I needed. My lack of sleep was to blame....
Friday we went to Aspens for dinner and had a wonderful time. I woke up at 3:30 and could not go back to sleep. It was awful.
Saturday I tried to nap but could not. We killed the back yard in hopes of getting a backyard. Round Up everywhere. Will hope that the seed takes and we have a beautiful lawn like on the bags of seed we have. The fab hub gave Bellini a bath with the baby shampoo that is Lavander sceneted...she smells so good and it worked well. Had dinner at Sal Grosso, aka the meat faucet. It is a Brazilian steak house where they walk around with meat on swords and slice some off for you. I grazed on the wonderful salad bar. I finally slept and feel so good.

Delivered




A note: I could not be bothered with the invasion personally. The fab hub and I were in Savannah. All the photos are found on flickr. There are tons and pools and so forth. I was going to try and hit a few places for food to see what I could see, but taking a weekend to the coast was nice. I saw my momma. Even got some home cooked meals. Met Elvis. Ate at Paula Dean's place. Had a good time at The Crab Shack. Take a step over to flickr for more.
